Tom,
None of the Kenwood mobile units I've ever seen had audible DTMF tones.  We have Kenwood 742 mobile units & the interesting thing about them is if you store codes or autopatch numbers in the DTMF memory slots, then you do hear the DTMF tones when you use the memories.

Subject:      question on kenwood TMV7A

Hi all.

I am using a Kenwood TMV7A as a mobile rig in our family vehicle, and have
run into a small problem that I am hoping someone can help me with.  We have
auto patches on our local 2 meter and 440 repeaters that I use fairly often.
When I am using the mic to key in the access numbers for the patch, and the
phone number I want to access, I like hearing the DTMF tones so I know my
nunbers are going through.  For some reason, I have lost those tones.  In
other words, as I key in the necessary numbers, no DTMF tones can be heard,
even though the numbers do go through.

Does anyone know how to re-activate the audible DTMF tones?

Thanks in advance for your help.
